Abstract: 25,170. Lake, W. B., Elliot, E. F., and Lake, A. E. Nov. 2. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing; clutches, friction. -In two-speed gears for motor cycles &c., of the kind employing a reducing-gear with a controllable gear-box as described in Specification 13,038/07, and wherein a driving-sleeve mounted upon a fixed axle carries at one end the primary gear-wheel and at the other end the driving-pulley, one or more members interposed between the hub bearings are adapted to be moved outwards from the centre for the purpose of clutching the sleeve directly to the hub shell for the normal drive.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Vehicle Propulsion and Control.
Inventor: PIEPER HENRI
IPC: H02P9/00
Filed: 1909-12-01
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 28,082. Pieper, H. Dec. 1, 1908, [Convention date]. Regulating and control - transmitting apparatus.-Relates to vehicles propelled by motor units consisting of a heat engine permanently coupled to a dynamo-electric machine in circuit with a buffer battery, and comprises means for controlling electrically the ignition circuit and the reversing - device of the engine, the armature and field circuits of the dynamo-electric machine, and a clutch and brake in the transmission gear, such control being effected from either end of the vehicle, and from any one of a train of similar vehicles. The vehicle frame, Fig. 2, carries an engine 2 and dynamo 3 coupled to a battery 16. The wheels are driven through a magnetic clutch 7 adapted to attract a plate 15, and the vehicle is braked by a fixed electro-magnet 14. The various functions enumerated above may be controlled by separate switches or the whole may be arranged on one control barrel, as shown in Fig. 7. If the barrel is turned from its central position, the armature circuit is completed, and the engine 2 is started by the motor 3. The ignition circuit being also closed, the heat engine runs under its own fuel. In the next positions of the barrel, the brake 14 is gradually taken off, and the clutch 7 energized so as to start the vehicle. The speed is increased by putting resistances 56 in the field circuit. When the barrel is moved in the opposite direction from central position, a magnet 29 is energized, and attracts an armature on a lever 23 operating a clutch on the valve shaft 68. This clutch is combined with a reversing bevel-gear, Fig. 5, in such a way that when the clutch is thrown over, the valves are so operated as to reverse the engine's direction of rotation. Further movement of the control barrel effects the same operations as before, the vehicle being driven backwards. A similar control barrel is arranged at the opposite end of the vehicle, the pairs of brushes being coupled as shown. When large currents are used, the control circuits operate relay magnets which effect the opening and closing of the armature circuit, and resistances are interposed and automatically short - circuited as the speed rises. When two motor groups are arranged on the same vehicle, the controller is modified to permit the two dynamos to work either in series or in parallel. In the case of a train of vehicles, a series of eight control wires extend from end to end of the train and are coupled to the brushes of a controller at each end of each vehicle, the wires being also in circuit respectively on each vehicle with the forward and reverse main solenoids, the motor field, the clutch, the brake, the magnets for reversing the heat motor, and the ignition device.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Railway Buffers.
Inventor: RAWIE FRANZ
IPC: B61K7/18

Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 2038. Rawie, F. Jan. 26. Buffer s top s.- The buffer proper is attached to a foot supporting the rails and sliding on the rail bed. The beam 1 is secured to side girders 2 attached to members 3, 4 connected by a strap 5. Tie bars 7 secure the girders 2 and rails 11 in position and separate the sleepers 6 sliding with but not secured to the buffer. The buffer slides in a guide-way 18 covered by a removable platform 19. Channel bars 12 secured to the member 4 carry extensions 15 adapted to move sleepers 13 in one direction but to pass through recesses 16 in sleepers in the other direction. When a wagon moves the buffer, successive sleepers 13 are moved along the rail bed, increasing the frictional resistance. In a simple form, the sleepers 13 are connected together and to the member 4 by knee-levers which cannot straighten. Undue raising of the frictional resistance is prevented by rollers on some of the sleepers running on ground rails.

Oil switches, of the type in which the main body of the oil is stationary and the circuitbreaking movement takes place entirely within the oil chamber have the chamber completely filled with oil and constructed to permit a temporary expansion of the contents. According to the modification shown in Fig. 1, the chamber has an inclined cover d and a ventpipe s. The oil completely fills the chamber and partly fills the vent-pipe, which acts as a safety-valve. In another form there is a small vent-hole at the top of the cover and a safetyvalve pipe let into the chamber elsewhere. According to the modification shown in Fig. 2, the top of the chamber in the form of a flanged plunger or piston d, normally kept down by springs or by its own weight, is made to yield and allow a vent under pressure from the interior. The sides of the chamber may be made with yielding diaphragms, or separate sealed boxes with yielding sides, or bellows-like devices may be placed in the oil chamber to allow room for expansion.

Abstract: 21,929. Heron, R. P. Oct. 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Paper - supports. - Rollers for typewriter platens, furniture castors, &c. are formed of felt or similar material, preferably unsized felt, so compressed that the peripheral portion is denser than the central portion. The roller may be built up of a series of disks having the central portion recessed on one or both sides; compression may be effected in a press chamber &c. Figs. 4 and 5 show two forms of disk with recesses on both sides. Fig. 3 shows an interlocking arrangement, a projection 11 on one disk entering a deeper recess 10 in the adjacent disk. For a typewriter platen, the disks are clamped on a tube between end plates adjusted by screw-threaded bushings; compression may be effected gradually by the bushings, disks being added after each compression until the required density is obtained. For furniture castors, the compressed disks are clamped between plates on a sleeve beaded over to secure the plates. The felt or like surface is finally ground or otherwise finished.

Abstract: 13,465. Parkinson, E. June 6. Testing toothed gearing.-Relates to a device for indicating defects relative to the thickness or shape of teeth and the distance between the centres of spur, bevel, or skew wheels when in gear. Figs. 1 and 2 show the invention as applied in testing spur gearing. One wheel 16 is carried by a bracket 15 adjustably secured to a bed-plate 1, and the other wheel 16 is carried bv a bracket 9 fixed to a saddle 4 mounted on ball bearings on the bedplate and preferably connected thereto by springs 11. By means of adjusting-screws 17, 18, the saddle can be fixed in position for ensuring proper engagement of the wheels 16. When the screws 17, 18 are liberated, the saddle is held in one direction by a screw 19 bearing on the end of a spring-controlled rod 12. If pairs of wheels are now placed on the mandrel, any differences in the centre distances of the wheels causes the saddle to slide. When the wheels 16 are rotated, any irregularity in shape or thickness of the teeth of the wheels causes the saddle 4 to slide. The amount of movement is indicated bv means of a vernier 20 on the saddle and a scale 21 on the bracket 15, or by means of a dial indicator 22. In testing bevel or skew gearing, the bracket 15 is replaced by another bracket.
